Sometimes albums can have the greatest names, most ridiculous names, or the most fitting names, and in the case of ANTROPOFAGUS' M.O.R.T.E it is the last of those three as nothing better describes the album than the term "Brutal" in an unironic sense. I will admit, there is heavy use of "Pig Squeals" throughout the album, which is not to be unexpected as the line between modern brutal death metal and slam begins to blur bit by bit, but I must admit that I am not a fan of pig squeals. This is not to say they are poorly done, as the album's vocals are all well done by Tya, but whether or not I find them fitting is not a matter I can put input on without personal sentiment intervening. Regardless, the album is a very well done piece of brutal death metal, though not incredibly innovative, but is undoubtedly worth a listen by fans of the sub genre. Without further ado, let us dive right in.

The album opens with the instrumental "Whirlwind of Initiation", which I personally found to be reminiscent of Bond films, being deep in the lair of the bad guy sneaking around to find the weapon that will be used to blow up the moon or something similar. It seems rather out of place as it seems to have no connection to what follows in the album, and as soon as you hear "Spawn of Chaos" play it is hard to not understand what is meant. One is instantly blasted with a relentless assault on the ears of double blast beat drums and riffs that conjure images of evisceration and dismemberment. While each individual part is good, together it feels a bit messy. The problem with this genre is the fine line between sounding well composed and bordering a sort of sensory overload. While not definitively falling in either group, it certainly does seem to tread this fine line. But as stated before, when viewed individually, each part is done well. Truthfully, it can be hard to find something that separates the songs by an incredibly noticeable degree. The problem lies partly in the aforementioned statement that things kind of blend together. For example, the following song "Chants for Abyzou"  it does contain a break down, but sadly this is the best identifying feature of the song. It is again a case of strong individual skill that doesn't seem to come together to make something that feels unique.

However, this is not the case for all the songs on the album. For example, the namesake of the album "Methods of Resurrection Through Evisceration" undoubtedly felt far more structured and unique in its riffs and progression throughout the song. There was also great use of lead guitar riffs that was enhanced and accentuated by every other instrument that gave clearer direction and intent in the song. Though of course not the same, one might compare it to FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE's days of brutal technical death metal in the days of their album Oracles. The first two songs of the album by no means speak for the entire album, as evidence by this song, yet I must admit that they at least do feed into this idea of a sort of blended together drab. This song, as well as others, show this is not the entire album. However, the first two songs stand. I am certain ANTROPOFAGUS has the potential to create great brutal death metal, the key I believe is in innovation and/or in the general creation of a unique sound. I would highly recommend this to any fan of BDM, as all in all the album is by no means bad as a whole.
